USCIS Sucks

[supercool 0]

Hi Guys,

So I called last week to USCIS since my 5 months got over, they gave me a confirmation number and said someone will contact you within "30 days".

I got an email from USCIS today saying they received my special request and it is currently "under review" and they will respond to me in "60 days" - what the hell is this? So now I am suppose to screw myself for another 60 days???

Did anyone got an email like this???

I129F sent - 7/23/2010

NOA1 - 7/28/2010

Touched - 10/3/2010

If u read through the July VSC forum, there is a few u will see there is still July filers waiting all getting the same response, it does indeed suck balls

Write to your Congress Member. Their calls are taken much more seriously than yours. If enough of us do that, eventually there will be enough chatter in the Halls of Congress to want to get something useful done.

Welcome to the misinformation line, standard response when at the processing time is to give it 30 days beyond the processing date before calling, and then they may look into it.

These posts are so frustrating. YES get a hold of your congressman, it helped us for sure. I wish when I move to the USA that I could get a job at the USCIS and TURN THAT PLACE UPSIDE DOWN!!! GRRRRRR

Don't get deterred by the stupid form letter. That is exactly what they want, hoping you will just shrivel up and blow away. Keep calling. Just come up with a credible reason to call each time like "People with NOA1 2 weeks later than mine are now getting NOA2. What's going on?"

This was the email I sent to Vermont directly as we were getting no where with the call centre. Other than call back in 30 days, call back in 60 days and one nonce who said he couldnt even find the petition and asked was I sure I filed for a I129F!!!! I recommend emailing them directly and it took 6 days to get a response.

''The previous email was submitted by the petitioner, Mr Matthew Poletto. He has called many times to the national centre and all they can offer is a answer which 1) doesn't make any sense 2) to contact you directly, of which I am trying to do. The channels of communication for this procedure is something that really lacks any postive remarks on my part. The national centre does not know any relevant information on our petition and simply reads from the script that they are told to do. And to think, the money we paid for this is taken so quickly, yet we are still waiting after the deadline and not given one decent update. Any private business that would operate this way would be out of business within a week.

Again, I will re-iterate, the phone line that is contactable does not provide any useful information and this has now well past its 5 month deadline. I am in contact with my congressman, of which is making an enquiry on our behalf. This petition needs immediate attention. I will not stop emailing or calling until someone, of either some authority or knowledge, gives us an answer of when this will be looked at. Something of which should of already been done.

I would appriciate a response that gives us some decent information about our overdue pending petition.

Thank you

I used - VSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov -i dont even know where i found it now - think on USCIS website some where, the email above was the second one I sent, the first one I got a reply saying go away about 6 days after, i then sent this. I gave up on the call centre until the night before approval when our call was taken by a senior member of staff. We tried all angles.

I waited the 6 months to call them, which they said to call if it 5 months past the dead line +1. It took them another 3 weeks to review the case. Then another 3 weeks for them to OK after they got the RFE. Total 7.5 months at the USCIS. They SUCK for sure. The whole process sucks!!!!Way too long...

Call them right after the 6months and 1 day. That got them looking into the case.

Thanks, Lucy. This is a great piece of information I saved to my computer, and every other Vermont filer should too.
